The National Museum of Music showcases different traditional Cuban musical instruments, which have become an inseparable part of Cuban music in the past centuries. Apart from guitars, vintage pianos, bongo drums and maracas, here you can see exotic instruments like a xylophone, which comes from Laos.

The Museum of the Revolution is housed in what was the Presidential Palace of all Cuban presidents, through to Fulgencio Batista. It became the Museum of the Revolution during the years following the Cuban revolution. The former Presidential Palace was designed by the Cuban architect Carlos Maruri, and the Belgian architect Paul Belau, and was inaugurated in 1920 by President Mario García Menocal. It remained the presidential palace until 1959. The building has Neo-Classical elements, and was decorated by Tiffany & Co. of New York. The museum's Cuban history exhibits are largely devoted to the period of the revolutionary war of the 1950s and to the country's post-1959 history. Portions of the museum are also devoted to pre-revolutionary Cuba, including its War of Independence waged against Spain.

The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana exhibits Cuban art collections from colonial times up through the present. It was founded on February 23, 1913, thanks to the efforts of its first director, Emilio Heredia, who was a well-known architect.

Spanning the 17th and 19th centuries, it has rooms devoted to landscape, religious subjects and the Costumbrismo narrative scenes of Cuban life. A gallery devoted to the 1970s, marked by a preponderance of Hyperrealism and the latest generation of Cuban artists whose works all reflect the strong symbolic imagery that has been most common in recent decades. The best works are those of René Portocarrero and Wifredo Lam. A modernist sculpture by noted Cuban artist Rita Lonja stands outside the main entrance.
